Update an incorrect term (to display the correct term immediately)

To fix an incorrect term and have the correct term display immediately, you need to delete the appointment, update the term definition, then put the person back in the seat.
​
Go to the board and use the Actions menu for the seat, and select Delete Latest Appt. This will remove the appointment completely.

Now use the seat’s Actions drop-down menu again and select Edit Seat. You need to click the red Lock icon to unlock the seat definitions. You can then correct the term. The seed date should be when the term begins, not when the person was put into the seat (unless they are the same date) and hit Submit.

Your term should now be correct, and you can use Fill Seat to put the member back into the corrected seat.
